FULL-TIME: ARSENAL 3 - OLYMPIAKOS 1

21.50 Right, that's all we've got time for tonight. Thanks for joining me for that and special gratitude to those who sent emails. Have a read of Jeremy Wilson's match report from the Emirates before bed. Which is exactly where I'm off to. Good night.

21.46 Arsenal skipper Thomas Vermaelen seems happy enough with that:

The first half we were a little sloppy with our passing and we gave away a few balls. It wasn't great. Bould was not angry but he told us what went wrong and what we could do better and I think we did that in the second half. He warned us to be more cautious with the ball.

21.40 WRAP Well that second half was much better from Arsenal. They attacked with more gusto and fluency and took the clear-cut chances presented to them. Olympiakos took their foot off the gas a tad so that vulnerable home defence was not put under as much pressure. Bould and Wenger should be pleased that his team eked out a victory when that performance did not necessarily merit one. Work to do but they've bounced back from defeat to Chelsea to extend their unbeaten run in the Champions League. A good night's work.

90+5 min The ref blows for full-time and Arsenal are two from two in Europe.

90+4 min GOAL! Arsenal 3 - Olympiakos 1 (Ramsey) Route one football works for Arsenal! Long ball is flicked on by Giroud to the onrushing Ramsey. He controls the ball well before dinking it over the keeper for a rather lovely, cooly-taken goal. Game over.

90+3 min Coquelin has provoked some kind of injury. Looks to be in pain and is running around a little gingerly.

90+2 min Only one Olympiakos outfield player left in their half as they push forward in pursuit of an equaliser.

90 min We've got three minutes of added time to play. Arsenal right where they want to be though - the cornerflag.

89 min The resulting attack from the corner concludes with Ramsey blazing over with a volley from just inside the area. Lot of power in it but never troubling the keeper.

88 min Ramsey forces a corner off Contreras. Taken short to Arteta and he and Cazorla play around with it for a bit. Cazorla then decides enough's enough and plays a one-two with Ramsey before cutting it back to Giroud....but his shot is blocked!

87 min Walcott with the ball at his feet just outside the box and he spots the run of Cazorla through the middle but his clever pass is intercepted. Unlucky for the hosts.

84 min On commentary Niall Quinn warns Arsenal that they are "taking a risk or two". Still plenty of time for Arsene's night to be ruined but a home win does look like the most overwhelmingly likely result.

83 min Warning sign for Arsenal. Abdoun is released in acres of space down the left and only a mediocre delivery prevents an unmarked Pantelic from benefitting. Arsenal stream upfield and Walcott knocks a ball in towards Giroud but the Frenchman's effort on goal is gathered by Megyeri at the second attempt.

82 min I'm sure there's a few eyes thinking about the exit and beating the tube traffic at the Emirates but there's still a cagey 10 minutes for Arsenal to negotiate.

79 min Another change for Arsenal. Goalscorer Gervinho departs, with Olivier Giroud replacing him. Podolski is also off, with Aaron Ramsey on the pitch in his place.

78 min Corner finds Koscielny but his header is rather tame and easily gathered by the 'keeper. Trickier than his effort 15 minutes ago, which really should have been buried.

77 min The game has broken up somewhat and it's really suiting Walcott, who is tormenting the Olympiakos rearguard. His latest cruise down the wing results in a corner, that Cazorla will take.

74 min Lovely play Arsenal! Cazorla starts a move with some midfield trickery. He then feeds Gervinho who gallops down the right before playing it back to Cazorla. Walcott overlaps down the right and is played in. The England winger cuts the ball back across goal to an onrushing Vermaelen but the ball is smothered by the 'keeper before the German can connect. Much more like it from Arsenal.

73 min Cazorla's putting in a shift. Has really stepped up this half for Arsenal. One of the bright spots on an otherwise ordinary night.

71 min Subsitute Abdoun's first major contribution to the Olympiakos cause is to curl a wild shot well over the bar. Optimistic at best. Wreckless waste of time at worst.

70 min Here we go. Arsene, sorry Bould, has rolled the dice and off comes Oxlade-Chamberlain, with Walcott taking his place.

68 min Looks like Theo Walcott may be making an appearance shortly..Schalke beating Montpellier 2-1 in the other Group B match by the way.

66 min Arteta fells Machado and Olympiakos win a free-kick. They are by no means out of this one.

65 min Corner to Olympiakos.....Taken quickly but the resulting ball in is blocked and Mannone claims the hanging ball.

63 min Koscielny should score! From the set-piece the centre-half has a free header from point-blank range but he puts it over!

62 min Oxlade-Chamberlain draws a foul, and tellow card, from Contreras who rather crudely brings down the young winger in full flight.

58 min Have Arsenal ridden the storm? Cazorla's on the ball a bit more now and Arsenal are attacking with a bit more fluency. If they can stay awake at the back then they have the firepower to take this away from the Greeks, you feel.

56 min GOAL! Arsenal 2 - Olympiakos 1 (Podolski) That goal is the result of hard work from Gervinho in the box. He regains possession, courtesy of a hopeless clearance, before cutting the ball back to his German strike partner. Podolksi takes the ball on to his left foot and nutmegs the 'keeper with a fizzing shot. Great finish.

55 min Mitroglou! He flashes a shot on goal from 30 yards out and it only just goes wide!

54 min Cazorla a far more visible presence in this half, which bodes well for Arsenal.

52 min Olympiakos give the ball straight to Gibbs just outside the area. He feeds Gervinho on the overlap but the linesman flags for offside. A little on the harsh side, I think.

50 min Great chance for Arsenal! Podolski finds Gervinho in the box (with a pass while lying on his bottom), the striker cuts it back to Cazorla, but his side-footed finish is wide of the target! Nice and fluent though...

48 min Podolksi gives the ball away. Arteta wins it back. Arteta gives it away. Sloppiness not quite out of the system yet then...

47 min Gibbs plays a one-two with Podolski but the full-back gets his shot all wrong and it skids out for a goal-kick.

46 min We're back under way at the Emirates, with 60,034 reportedly in attendance.

20.47 Scary words from Alan Smith, who says the Arsenal boys would have received a tongue-lashing from their manager for the night:

Bouldy will be getting into them because it wouldn't have made for pleasant watching. Especially that last five minutes.

20.43 Good for Gervinho:

&lt;noframe&gt;Twitter: Opta - 5 - Gervinho has now scored more goals for Arsenal this season (five) than he managed in the whole 2011/12 campaign (four). Revamped.&lt;/noframe&gt;

20.35 HALF-TIME WRAP My job here is to report the facts as they happen. The truth is that Arsenal have been below-par. The goal was well-taken by Gervinho and a half-time lead would have been unreflective of the way that 45 minutes went. The Olympiakos goal typified the sleepy approach to defending Arsenal adopted that half. Lots for Bould (and maybe Arsene via a cheeky text or two) to do in the break.

45 min GOAL! Arsenal 1 - Olympiakos 1 (Mitroglou) Argh, that's not good. Arsenal asleep at the back and allow Mitroglou to head home in the box to almost immediately cancel out the opener.

42 min GOAL! Arsenal 1 - Olympiakos 0 (Gervinho) Arsenal's goal machine strikes again! Arteta wins the ball outside the box and it rolls to Gervinho's feet. He pounces upon it, creates some space for himself, before drilling it past the 'keeper. It didn't look like coming but what a relief for Arsenal that it has. Good finish and things are looking rosy.

40 min Paulo Machado with a chance to make up for his miss with a free-kick. It's nicely struck but straight at Mannone who catches it with ease.

38 min Sky's Champions League anchorwoman praying for goals. As am I:

&lt;noframe&gt;Twitter: Hayley McQueen - 14 teams in action now in &lt;a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=championsleague" target="_blank"&gt;#championsleague&lt;/a&gt; at the moment 35mins in &amp;amp; just 4 goals so far in 2 games. Come on goals!&lt;/noframe&gt;

37 min Here is said miss:

36 min WHAT A MISS! Best chance of the match for Olympiakos, with Paulo Machado unmarked in the box. But he can't keep his half-volley down and it skies over. Should have buried it!

35 min The tempo of the match has slipped back to down 2nd gear after a brief flurry of excitement.

32 min Corner to Arsenal after some good work from Jenkinson down the right.

30 min Let-off for Arsenal as Mannone reacts well to an unexpected shot from Mitroglou after a colleague did well to cut the ball back when it looked like going out for a goal-kick. Mitroglou's low shot from the edge of the area is well stopped by the Arsenal 'keeper.

29 min Och, steady on. Koscielny booked for a reckless challenge after he gave the ball away to Fuster.

28 min Handball claim is waved away by the ref after Gervinho's flick struck the arm of a defender but Arsenal looking a bit more positive all of a sudden. Here's Arsene:

27 min Emirates crowd getting a bit impatient now. "Come on Arsenal!" they chant. An obedient Podolski responds by chasing down a ball on the left wing to regain possession. Again the attack does not result in an opening.

25 min Vermaelen whistled for diving into David Fuster at that corner.

24 min Now then! Podolski and Gibbs combine down the left and the full-back wins a corner. Bit more pace, bit more incision. Much better. Fourth corner of the game to Arsenal.

23 min Arsenal have now added careless passing o their lack of urgency to create a less-than-formidable strategy.

21 min Cazorla wins a free-kick after he's rough-housed by some Olympiakos players. Arsenal take the free-kick quickly but there's very little direction in the attack and it falls apart fairly quickly. Has that defeat to Chelsea hit their confidence?

19 min Gervinho pounces upon a pass from Oxlade-Chamberlain and sets off towards goal before being ushered out wide. Eventually his path is set for the cornerflag but he's dispossessed before he arrived at his planned destination.

17 min Very low-key start to this match which is maybe appropriate given that it's being played in shocking weather and there's quite a few empty seats. But come on, lads! This is the Champions League!

16 min Maniatis down after an accidental knee in the head. The crowd, rightly or wrongly, boo but that looked painful.

14 min Arsene up in the stands tonight so the three-quarter length puffer jacket gets a rest. Steve Bould currently getting soaked.

12 min No cross from Cazorla....instead it's a cracking effort on goal that Megyeri has to tip over the bar! Lovely free-kick.

11 min Nice speed from Gibbs down the left flank forces a free-kick to Arsenal. Lots of bodies in the middle. Can Cazorla find one?

10 min Ball comes to Arteta at the edge of the box and a subsequent Arsenal attack results in another corner. Still no killer pass though and the attack comes to nothing.

9 min Nice burst from Jenkinson down the right and his cross is diverted out of play for a corner.

8 min It's tipping it down with rain in north London, by the way.

7 min Great work from Oxlade-Chamberlain. First he goes on a dangerous run down the right flank then he nicks the ball back. Most of Arsenal's positive play from attack is stemming from the young winger.

5 min Paulo Machado with a free-kick for Olympiakos but it goes sailing harmlessly out of play. Inexplicably though Mannone and Vermaelen contrive to hand the balls straight back to Olympiakos. The 'keeper passes the goal-kick to his captain, who is fast asleep and the Greek side steal the ball and only a despairing block from Vermaelen prevents a goal.

4 min Arsenal succeeding in the early game of keepball. Seriously, they must have had like 80 per cent possession. It only comes to an end when Vermaelen is felled by a late challenge.

2 min Arsenal knocking it about nicely around the halfway line. But nothing particularly threatening as yet.

1 min We're under way.

19.42 The Champions League anthem has been played and we are ready to go. Oh, wait. Handshakes first. Two essential activities.

19.35Telegraph Sport columnist Alan Smith is in the studio for Sky. Here's what he had to say about Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain:

He's a more complete player than Walcott. Technically, he can receive the ball in tight areas and he won't lose the ball. And he can see a pass.

19.32 A mail from Mark in response to the question I posed above. You wouldn't see that kind of email in 2004. Nowadays though.......

as an arsenal fan, arsene knows nothing!!

19.30 I think Sky Sports 4 is generally more polished and prestigious. Something a bit sad about ITV4, but of course it does beat Channel 5.

19.28 Arsenal have been left to languish on Sky Sports 4 tonight. Here's a poser for you, Arsenal fans. In an ideal world where you have all the digital channels available to you, would you rather be screened on ITV4 or Sky Sports 4?

19.19 A stat from our friends at Opta

&lt;noframe&gt;Twitter: Opta - 2 - Arsenal have only lost two of their last 42 Champions League home games, and both of those came against fellow English sides. Fortress.&lt;/noframe&gt;

19.16 Remember that Wenger is still banned from the touchline for European matches. So tonight Steve Bould will be the man prowling the sidelines as he did against Montpellier. Here's what he had to say after that:

I’m not sure about that [when asked if he had enjoyed the responsibility. I’ve got a headache and a half at the minute.

19.05 Just over a year ago these two sides met in an indentical fixture. Arsenal won 2-1 that day. Have a read of Henry Winter's match report. Key themes are lots of nationalities in the starting line-up and defensive problems.

18.56 So, Koscielny keeps his place in the Arsenal defence despite his below-par outing against Chelsea. What are your thoughts on the team?

18.46 The big Arsenal development overnight was the news that the club have called upon the services of four-time Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson to help with speed and power. What do we think? Tom Daley to help with diving?

18.40 Good evening and thanks for joining me for our live coverage of tonight's game at the Emirates. I'm sure you're expecting me to launch into the standard three-paragraph introduction of what's at stake tonight – and believe me, I was ready to embark on this – but Arsène Wenger has summed it up so well in his pregame press conference that I'll just let the Arsenal manager do the talking:

The Champions League is simple, you need one away win and three home wins. We have done the first part of that job, now the second part is to be strong at home. It is a big advantage [to have an away win], but only if you are efficient at home. That is what is at stake for us.
